Equipment

skillet or frying pan
spatula
Mixing bowl
Knife
Cutting board

Ingredients

4 slices sourdough or artisan bread
1 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
2 tbsp butter (softened)

Instructions

In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until evenly coated and warm slightly if needed.
Butter one side of each bread slice.
Place one slice of bread butter-side down, add a layer of cheddar and monterey jack cheese.
Add BBQ chicken evenly over the cheese layer.
Top with another layer of cheese, then place the second slice of bread butter-side up.
Cook in a skillet over medium-low heat for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
Remove from heat, let rest for 1–2 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

Drain excess BBQ sauce from chicken to avoid sogginess. Use medium-low heat to ensure cheese melts evenly without burning the bread. Let the sandwich rest for 1–2 minutes before slicing for best texture.
